president obama is on his way back to washington right now. he spent the weekend in florida playing golf and avoiding cameras. >> we obtained these exclusive far away pictures of the president and the video was pretty difficult to capture. peter did a great job, but we have seen nothing of the president's weekend round of golf with tiger woods. brian todd has been looking into it and joining us now. i think it's appropriate this time. >> no clear instances on this. the white house said media access was "consistent with other presidential golf outings." but the press corps complained about that and the optics don't look great for mr. obama. they are the two most high profile people in their feels. tiger woods in golf and president obama in almost everything else. they played golf together this past weekend, but we have more visuals of the president watching a top secret mission the night osama bin laden was killed than of mr. obama and tiger woods during the golf outing. the media was shutout. the press core complained. they responded by saying

and president obama, today he's calling for raising taxes. before we talk about raising taxes on hard-working americans, we need to address the wasteful spending that we continue to see within the federal government. this year alone, we spent $2.2 billion on free cell phones in 2013. and the list goes on and on. and yet the democrats are not recognizing we have a spending problem or the impact of out of control spending on our economy. >> i know republicans and i saw a statement from speaker boehner today, saying that raising taxes is not on the table. the revenue question has -- the revenue debate has been closed. so can you say with 100% certainty that republicans will not go along with any tax increases, even on the wealthiest americans, even on big corporations? >> we need to address the spending side of this equation. that's where the republicans believe that we can find the common ground. the sequester, these across the board cuts, drastic cuts, disproportionately impacting the military and our defense, they were president obama's idea

thanks very much into here in washington, president obama is doing an end around the national press today. he's taking questions from local tv stations, blaming congress for doing nothing to avoid these forced spending cuts scheduled to take effect in just nine days. so what kind of cuts is the president willing to take? jim acosta confronted the white house press secretary today with that question. jim is joining us now. how did it go? >> reporter: wolf, here we go again. the white house and congress move one day closer to the massive forced spending cuts that go into effect at the end of next week. and even though they both agree it's a problem, they are both busy blaming each other to fix it. the white house sounding the alarm. poor children will be tossed out of classrooms, health services will be slashed, border security will be compromised and the economy will take a hit if forced budgets cuts begin to happen on march 1st and the obama administration says republicans will be to blame. >> the pleas that the republicans are making are throw these people out of work. it's just -- it ma
